    Default On This Day 7 May

    On this day 7 May 1779 USS Providence captured the brig HMS Diligent, 12 guns, off Sandy Hook. Providence was armed with 12 × 4-pounder guns and 14 × railside swivel guns. She fired two broadsides and a volley of muskets during the engagement and Diligent, with mast rigging and hull cut to pieces, was forced to surrender.
